Ann Howdon at The Bridge Folk Club – Plumbers And Jiners (Watt Nicoll)
Ann Howdon at The Bridge Folk Club, 7 October 2024
Plumbers And Jiners (Watt Nicoll)
‘A public toilet was a penny in the slot’ probably doesn’t mean much to a lot of people these days but our more mature followers will remember the days when the cubicles in public toilets in the UK could only be used by putting a (pre-decimal) penny into the lock and turning the handle to open the door. It’s where the expression ‘spending a penny’ came from - but that’s another reference that probably doesn’t mean much to a lot of people these days
Plumbers and Jiners (that’s how Watt Nicoll spelled it) uses the same tune as an old Music-Hall song, Granny’s Old Arm Chair

Alpin McGregor at The Bridge Folk Club - Gavotte Glazik (Breton trad)
Просмотров 124 часа назад
Alpin McGregor at The Bridge Folk Club, 5 August 2024 Gavotte Glazik Breton trad) The Gavotte is a traditional dance from Brittany in France. The exact form of gavotte varies from town to town and the tunes are frequently named after the individual towns or districts, without being given separate titles, so there can be several tunes with the same name. It sounds confusing but it all works out ...

Steve Gray at The Bridge Folk Club, 19 August 2024 Cry Baby Cry (John Lennon and Paul McCartney) John Lennon said he got the inspiration for the lyrics partly from an advertisement with the line ‘Cry, baby cry, make your mother buy’ and partly from the ‘Sing a song of sixpence’ nursery rhyme On the Beatles’ 1968 White Album the outro is a short segment referred to as ‘Can You Take Me Back,’ wri...

Dave Winder at The Bridge Folk Club, 21 October 2024 Half Loaf (Words by Cicely Fox Smith, tune by Alan Fitzsimmons) The sailor in this song is forced to settle for something a lot less than ideal, a tramp steamer instead of a tall sailing ship, because ‘any ship's a better ship than no darned ship at all’ - a variation of the old saying that is referenced in the title, ‘half a loaf is better t...

The Sturdy Beggars at The Bridge Folk Club, 29 July 2024 Till The Tide Comes In (Henry Robson c1827) For hundreds of years the state of the tide dictated the type of work that was possible around Sandgate Street on the quayside of Newcastle upon Tyne in the north east of England. So many tasks depended on whether or not the tide was low (out) or high (in). Waiting for the tide to come in and br...

HO!
Beautifully done man!
I can spot gudn's and these are good. Thanks so much. R.
Thanks, Roger Liz and Flynn did a terrific guest night at The Bridge Folk Club and we’ll be posting more during the next few weeks for everyone to enjoy. Keep watching
Thank you for the music and the timely history lesson.
Thanks, Janene. I don’t know what happens in schools and colleges across the pond but over here in the UK the standard curriculum has huge gaps in the teaching of the struggles and persecution of ordinary working people. That’s just an observation, not a political comment, but when I’m in charge things will change! Anyway, it’s great that we have a lot of history to enjoy and learn from folk ballads Gan canny (stay well, take care)
Thanks for song and notes. Thorougly enjoyed it.
Finlay goes well with this. I'm most impressed that he appreciates the music of a past master and his want to perform it. R.
A good combination. R.
Wonderful. Enjoyed immensely. Thank you.
Delightful group and song. Thank you.
Probably my favourite of Bert's own compositions. Very nicely played and sung.
Perfect choice. Very nice. Thank you.
Thank you, Mary.
Couldn't get much better than this. Three cheers.
Well done. Thank you.
So fare ye well cold winter, fare ye well cold frost Nothing have I gained, me own true love I’ve lost I’ll drink and I’ll be merry when occasion I do see I’ll rest when I am weary let her go farewell she Last night I saw me true love in yonder shady grove She gave to me a smile, she gave to me a rose She thought I should have spoke to her as she was passing by Before I’ll humble to my love I’ll lay me down and die For if she has another lover and she treats me as a joke She thinks in her heart this will me provoke If she has another lover well I hope they both agree I rejoice at twenty let her go farewell she Take half a pound of reason a quarter pound of sense A small sprig of thyme and as much of prudence Mix them all together and then you’ll plainly see She’s a false deluding lover let her go farewell she
👍👍👍👍👍
brilliant artist either solo or with his bad pennies, one of the country,s finest song writers.
Love it. One I've never heard. Thanks heaps. R.
Delightful. Thank you.
Thank you for your description. I had not a clue what the lyrics meant. Very enjoyable.
Truly fantastic.
Lovely! This appears to be a variant of 'Locks and Bolts', 'Back o' Benachie', 'I dreamed last night of my true love' (See MainlyNorfolk).
I hadn’t realised the connection but you’re quite right. Thanks for pointing it out
Bill Dodds is one of my favorites. Thank you again.
Thanks, it's a great song isn't it.
Well sung, sir. Thank you.
I've seen Johnny many times over the years, both solo and with the Ranters, but some of the best were at the now sadly closed, "Strings Attached" club at South Gosforth, when he'd often play with his late brother, Brian Pandrich, both on the same piano, swapping sides like a couple of Marx Brothers.
An Icon. R.
Everyone in the folk world owes Johnny such a lot. An amazing, lovely man
Nice one Nick; a fine song by Martin
Wow ! I'm glad that other people outside Brittany learn breton music, brav eo, kaer tre eo ha plijus da selaou.
A favourite of mine. Glorious singing from Tom and such wonderful words from John
Very enjoyable. Thank you.
Well rehearsed and very well done. Thanks so much. R.
A true gem on the folk scene, wonder what his thoughts on your new gov are?
A mist comes crawling down the street To the corner where the kids all meet With fingers stiff and frozen feet To welcome cold November And underneath the pale gaslight We sang our song into the night All down each alley, sharp and bright To echo through November Come rain or fog you must be sure If you be rich or be you poor There'd come a knock upon your door It's only cold November And you never asked the reason why You spared a penny for the guy Or Roman candles in the sky To light up cold November And a poor Guy Fawkes must burn again It's a pity that he died in vain For I should like to do the same To celebrate November But your father’s standing by the gate And your mother’s in a right old state Son, don’t you know it’s far too late To wander through November But now I’m old and past me prime Out of season out of rhyme The kids today can’t find the time To welcome cold November
That was beautiful. With just snippets that I recognized of the story.
One of the best nights of music I can remember.
A folk club standard very well done. Thanks Brian Peters & Mike Donelly. R.
Gan canny, Roger
remember me from the trip you were a minerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i like the singg
I learned this from the singing of John Langstaff, a very different variant. I first encountered it in my English school book in studying 8th grade English ballads. This and Wife of usher's Well & Unquiet Grave. I sang it in the Rennaisance Feaires in California. I do believe it is Martin Carthy's guitar chords. Beautiful.
Many thanks! Standard EADGBE tuning, played in E.
Great rendition. I'd love to know what tuning Stephen is using. (a Martin Carthy tuning??)
I've just discovered him and his guitars - fantastic! Passing the word around.
Thank you Sturdy Beggars. Very enjoyable.
Superb! More please! R.
Nicole - you make it look easy! R.
Did Rump forget that the entire US Military despises him for calling Hero McCain a "loser', was ashamed to stand next to wounded warriors because of his malignant narcissism and painted the Oval office gold. Navy Seals have been overheard saying he'll have to pay for that and will and they always get the job done. What kind of fool thinks he can get away with that? Only an obtuse moron. It's the exact same thing as sitting in a room full of Navy Seals and talkin' shit about their wives. They just don't let shit like that go unavenged. It's the code of honor that they die for. They don't mind. They live to die for America and decency and freedom from scumbags like you punk ass yellow Pukin dog shit eatin' Traitor. And showing war plans to strangers? Big no no....they don't play that Rump ass shit. Now that they have some hard earned free time they'll be hunting down all the traitors from within like Greene, Gaetz, Jordan and Lake. It's sport for them and who can stop them...I ask you? Not me, that's for sure. Sometimes wish I didn't have clearance to hear these things but I'm retired in a secure location now. By the way, every single scumbag that supports you is guilty of High treason during wartime and conspiracy to overthrow the rightful gov't of USA. Do you know the penalty for that? Shoot on sight pretty much. Game time. The hunt is on and the boys are very very upset. Hint: you'll swim for your life in Scotland where everyone despises you too and remains will be transported via torpedo tube to an undisclosed volcano far away. The rest is still classified. Wish I could say more but I have ethics to consider. Go Navy! Michelle Arthur Colvin
The BESTvoice such fee,ing a d passion.
A charming rendition!
A fine entertainer. R.
Lovely. Cath has a new fan in California. Thank you.
A good song, well sung plus a good story. Thank you. From the title I had no idea what to expect. ❤
